We're all humans. This post was actually sparked by a fanfiction. This contained something called a dogboy;
This magnificent young lady with an absolutely stellar tail (agree with me if you want to live) is called Holo or Horo the wise wolf. She is an anime character if you haven't noticed. I can recommend the first season, but have not myself watched the 2nd season. Obviously this would be a wolf girl, but I hope you get the picture.
She also has very...wolfish tendencies.
During the anime I never saw her as anything but a wolf on the same level as humans probably even greater (no offense, but she has lived for awhile). And the sharpness of the human mind mixed with the instincts and smarts of an animal; well lets just say I don't want her as an enemy.
And yet in this fanfiction the dogboys were seen as pets by the government. This was rather disturbing to me.
So I guess this post will be about.....GASP!!!!!!
HUMANITY
"I'm not human and I don't want to be, they're creatures who slaughter without will, sell each other, and kill wolves without good reason"
Bear with me I am not trying to offend the wolf.
I'm simply saying that for as much as we try to identify the traits in animals that we admire (and there are numerous) and attach them to ourselves I would like to say that humans do have good traits.
"Really you think that?"
Well yes I do.
I mean I think to some degree all creatures have kindness and forgiveness, but well... ooh I'm trying real hard for our species here guys (well if you're not human I'm not judging, but you should get the point)
"Told you"
NOOOOOO Don't condemn humans to death.
I think the only thing we have are original words. And the word called humanity. I mean we do embody a large range of personalities like other animals, and a lot of traits of animals are personified in humans.
"Are you suggesting?"
YES! Of course the wolf gets it. That animals have limited power being down to earth like they are, and humans with flamboyance are able to display their traits given to them by animals to the world. And so that is humanity, but it comes from a deeper root; an animal root.
There's a quote that I had a long time ago, and as much as I dislike looking back on my past ones...well it fits this perfectly. I honestly didn't meant to use it but....
Love doesn't make us more human; it makes us more real
Well hopefully I summarized humanity, love, kindness, and our roots (subjects that I'm sure some actual professional philosopher has dedicated decades to thinking about and pondering much deeper than I have, and from much more credible sources) in a short enough amount of time!
"So remember, even if you do not agree"
